Abstract:
A MIXTURE OF LANTHANUM OXIDE, CALCIUM CARBONATE AND CHROME OXIDE IS FIRED TO PRODUCE A SOLID SOLUTION WHEREIN A PERCENTAGE OF THE LANTHANUM IONS OF THE LANTHANUM OXIDE HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY CALCIUM IONS. THIS SOLID SOLUTION IS THEN PULVERIZED AND MOLDED TO PRODUCE AND ELECTRODE OF HIGH ELECTRON CONDUCTIVITY ESPECIALLY APPROPRIATE FOR USE IN THE MAGNETO-HYDRO-DYNAMIC GENERATOR.
Abstract:
A paste composed of glass having a low fusion point and metal powder is fired on a ceramic material to form a very thin metallic film thereon. A metal body of easily deformable shape is then sandwitched between this film and the metal material to which the ceramic material is to be bonded and the contact points on either side are bonded to the respective materials by firing. The bonded ceramic-metal body so formed is stable in it''s mechanical, heat and electrical properties and is especially adaptable for use as the oxide electrode in MHD power generation.
